Stucco & Exterior Repair in North Hollywood
North Hollywood stucco repair for bungalows, duplexes and older apartment buildings: stairs, landings and old patches repaired and recoated.
North Hollywood mixes bungalows with duplexes and small apartment buildings, and its stucco reflects that range. On houses, the issues are old patches and faded walls. On multi-unit buildings, they are stairs, landings and the walls beneath them. We repair both, keeping tenants' routes open on occupied buildings, and recoat walls so years of patches stop showing.
Stairs on small apartment buildings
Stucco-clad exterior stairs often hide wood framing that has been soaking up water through a cracked landing over many winters. The plaster under the landing bulges and stains, and the stringers lose strength. We open the stair, inspect and replace damaged framing, rebuild the landing with a waterproof membrane and lap the stucco paper over it before refinishing. One stair is rebuilt at a time so tenants keep a usable route, and each stair is priced separately for the owner.
Bungalow walls
Small bungalows here have usually been patched for window swaps, vents and pipe repairs, with textures that no longer match. Under valley sun, the patches crack at their edges and fade differently from the original plaster. We cut out failing patches to clean edges, rebuild them in layers and blend the texture. Once the wall is sound, a color coat or elastomeric finish ties everything together, sealing hairlines and giving the house a consistent look from the street. Vents and pipe sleeves get flashing.
Stucco & Exterior in North Hollywood: questions
On a bungalow with a few cracks, often yes. Under apartment landings and stairs, cracks usually mean wet framing, which a patch will not fix. Those need the stair opened and rebuilt before any plaster goes back on.
For houses, the patches to rebuild, wall area and finish set the price. For apartment buildings, each stair and landing is priced as its own repair, so owners can schedule them one at a time.
Yes. We probe stair framing from below, read moisture at stained areas and cut a small opening where needed. On houses we tap for hollow plaster. The findings set the scope before we put a number on it.
